Asa pre. luiinary to further action, it may not be amiss to review—now, at the be- gioning of the season—that which has al- ready been done.

Tie ability of our contemporary to estimate the num. ber of persous present in a room—an ability gained by long experiance at political meet- ings—will be admitted by all ; but its trick (in respect to the churches) of comparing congregations which were actually counted with congregations of which the numbers only estimated, is, we think, unusual and not a little ** peculiar.” The Patriot's * tiggers”” show that the total at- tendance of Methodists was 1,950; and the Patriot *‘ estimates” that the number of ‘‘ worshippers attending” the Methodist churches was only 800!

The universities and colleges are growing in favor with the people, as the demand for gn edacated ministry is universal. Living in an age which peremptorily demands all facilities for the higher education ot women, it is very satisfactury to note the laudable efforts put forth by the Methodist Church, in the way of building endowments, teaching staff, &c., of their ladies’ colleges, The financ’al purpuse of 0’ the Society is tu aid those institutions engag- ed in university or theological work. Altogether the Methodists have in Canada, Newfound- land and Japan, 2 universities, 8 celleges, 36 mission schools, 131 day schools, and 2871 Sunday scho Is, with 191,538 scholars. The annual public meeting on behalf of this society will be held in the First Methodist Chureh, in this city, to-morrow evening, at 7.30. Among the speakers will be Jas. R. | Theh, Fsq., L. L.

DAILY EXAMINER, -- > >= noe ‘ ao t LAO be ae The Storm. By telephone from Summerside to-day we learn that the schooner Annie Florence, loaded with oats, wentashore a few days ago at Cape Bauld, and will be a total wreck. The cargo was transferred to an- other schooner. Yesterday morning, while Doyle Gallant, one of the crew, was floating his dunnage from the Annie Florence to the Pioneer, after partof the cargo had been transferred, the painter of the flat-bottomed boat In which he was broke. The fearful storm then raging tock him out past the Pioneer iato the Gulf, Captain Allen, who had charge of the Pioneer, slipped the cable and pursued the boat, but: saw nothing afterwards of ite Captain Allen steered for Su vmerside, and could not stop if he would, uptil the schooner stuck in the mud by the Railway Station. Perhaps no vessel ever came from the Mainland in a more fearful gale. In ‘he height of the storm yesterday, the little packet that runs between Cape George, Pictou, &c., made Souris harbor. She was sighted coming when about five miles off, with the seas running mountains high around her. When about a mile and 4 half off she hauled down her three-reefed foresail, ran in with bare poles, and as soon as inside the breakwater she hoisted a piece of her foressil and ran to anchorage ground, There was. considerable excite- ment on shore in watching the brave little craft, anda feeling of relief was felt all round when she swung to her anchor in safety. The seas that were breaking over che breakwater at the time were at least seventy teet high. They came dashing on, falling a hundred yards inside the work, at times completely enveleping the freight house on the railway wharf, and presenting one of the grandest sights that it is possi- ble to witness. The schooner Mary A. Jewel, Capt. Gaudet, of Rustico, is ashore, near Knight's wharf, Souris. She left Rustico last Sat- urday and came into Souris Sunday even- ing before the storm, About 2 p. m. yesterday she parted beth chains and ran ashore, but is ssid to be not much injured. Che crew landed safely before dark. The Pioneer reports that the schooner Favorite, Captain Sumby, loaded with oats by Mr. Jos. Reid, is ashore by the station house, west side of the railway wharf, Sum- merside. The Lodi is also ashore to the windward side of the railway, at the outer end of the coal shed. The same paper also states that the brickwork and some of the woodwork of one of the windows of the Bank of Nova Scotia, Summerside, came down with a crash to the sidewalk during the storm yesterday, and that Hon. G. W. Bentley and Mr. R. S. Bowness, who were coming out ot the building at the time, yatrowly escaped serious injury. The. steamer St. Lawrence. which left here for Pictou at twenty minutes past seven yesterday morning reached her desti- aation at half-past two, and left on yeturn at half-past- eight this mourning, atriving here this.afternoon.
